Grace & Green Are Making Menstrual Wellbeing a Workplace Standard

Grace & Green are transforming workplace wellbeing by making sustainable period care a standard, not a luxury.

75% of people are caught off guard by their period at least once a year, often whilst at work.

Grace & Green, founded by Fran Lucraft in 2017, is on a mission to improve accessibility to period products in the workplace. Firm believers that periods should be everyone’s business, their research found that only 3% of employees felt their workplace was doing enough to support their menstrual health.

Alongside improving accessibility to period products, Grace & Green are also leading the way on sustainability. A proud B Corporation, they use certified organic bamboo and cotton, and every single product is carbon neutral.

Many workplaces and schools still don’t provide period products, yet would never hesitate to provide toilet paper. This lack of access and ongoing social stigma is causing many people to suffer in silence or take sick days off from work.

But periods shouldn't be taboo - but everyone’s business. Here’s how Grace & Green are revolutionising traditional period care and helping break down those barriers.

The Problem with Traditional Period Care

Many people will find themselves caught out whilst working in the office or on the move. This could be down to a myriad of different reasons, but those who have periods shouldn’t have to suffer in silence, without the care they need to get through a working day.

Most offices and workplaces still are not supplying their staff with access to period care, through embarrassment, social stigma or simply no consideration. And if they do, it tends to be brands that have a negative impact on the planet and our health.

Grace & Green aim to give your business the resources you need to improve access, productivity, and office attendance. Alongside their boxes of tampons and pads, they even have a variety of different dispensers that can be used in communal bathrooms and customised with your company logo.

These different dispensers are perfectly designed to fit every kind of space. We currently stock the following alongside single boxes of pads and tampons:

• Grace and Green Period Kit Accessible Period Care On The Go
• Grace and Green Compact Two Product Free Vending Dispenser
• Grace and Green Standard Two Product Free Vending Dispenser

To improve staff wellbeing, productivity, and office attendance, it’s time to start improving period care accessibility, and Grace & Green can help you every step of the way.

Grace & Green’s Sustainable Solution

Here are some shocking statistics.

Mainstream period products are made from 90% plastic. Conventional tampons can contain up to 3000 chemicals. 4.3 billion ‘typical’ period products end up in seas and landfill in a single year in the UK.

Grace & Green offers a sustainable alternative to period care as every product contains no synthetic fibres and is free from chlorine bleaches, pesticides, and other synthetic materials. They use organic cotton and bamboo, which uses less energy and water than conventional farming.

Alongside being a B Corp, Grace & Green also holds ISO9001 and ISO14001 certifications, which demonstrate their commitment to quality and environmental management. In addition to this, Grace & Green always make sure to use compostable and recyclable packaging and never use single use plastics.

Changing the Culture, Not Just the Products

Grace & Green are on a mission to normalise conversations around periods in the workplace with their range of business friendly dispensers and affordable products. They currently work with hundreds of household organisations like the National Trust, RSPCA, AutoTrader, Haven, and many more to provide free period care and educational resources.

Their recent advertising campaign, as seen on Sky, aims to highlight just how important it is to have access to period products when you need them. Currently, Grace & Green partners with over 600 organisations to provide sustainable period care in the workplace, helping to make dignity and comfort the norm, not an exception

If you are a school, office, or workplace interested in investing in sustainable, affordable period care, be sure to browse all the Grace & Green products we currently have in stock. After all, period dignity shouldn’t be a perk, but a right.
